Danny Jacobs and Darren Grodsky‘s “Humboldt County” clearly struck a chord with festival attendees at SXSW this week. The film not only sold out all three fest screenings, but at the final two showings at the Alamo Lamar, organizers added a simultaneous second screening to accomodate the large crowds who turned up. The Alamo folks asked to book the film for a theatrical run next week, according to rep David Garber, but the “Humboldt” team decided to hold off on the booking to pursue a theatrical deal for the movie. Garber said that acquisitions screenings will be held in NY and LA next week. [Eugene Hernandez]
